This week we're talking about health and aging—and how we're finally taking control of our own wellness in our 40s.

We're also talking maintenance: stretching, foot pain, the shoes that are saving us (New Balance, HOKA, Oofos), and why rolling our feet on lacrosse balls is now part of life.

This week we're addressing an issue already happening in our kids' lives: AI companions. Seventy-two percent of teens have used them, and one in three find talking to AI just as satisfying as talking to real friends. Should we be freaking out?
